Published On : May 13,2019

Future Market Insights delivers vital insights on the FFS films market in its published report, titled “FFS Films Market: Global Industry Analysis 2014-2018 and Opportunity Assessment 2019-2029.” In terms of revenue, the global FFS films market is projected to expand at a CAGR of over 4.0% during the forecast period, owing to numerous factors, about which FMI offers thorough insights and forecasts in this report.

Form fill seal (FFS) films, which are predominantly the plastic films, are widely used in the FFS technology for packaging of various food, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, agriculture, building & construction, and myriad other products. FFS films are available in multiple thickness types and widely used for applications such as pouches, bags & sacks, sachets, and stick packs. High sealability and good machinability are the properties that position FFS films above other competing formats of packaging.

High-thickness, Multi-layered FFS Films Gaining Ground

In the report, FMI suggests that the increasing popularity of FFS technology as a contamination-free and cost-effective technology is likely to create significant demand for the FFS films market during the forecast period. Among material type, the polyethylene (PE) segment is expected to remain at the forefront in terms of FFS films market share during the forecast period. Manufactured from a variety of plastic resins, PE is highly likely to account for more than 2/5th of the market share in FFS films industry, during the forecast period. FFS films are either used as monolayers or mixture of various plastic films (multilayer), and among the layer structure type, the multilayer segment is expected to remain prominent in terms of FFS films market share and growth rate during the forecast period.

Among several thickness types, 76 to 150 micron is projected to expand with a notable growth rate in the FFS films market throughout the forecast period. By application, the pouches segment is a major consumer of FFS films and expected to attain remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. By the end use, the food segment is expected to be highly attractive in terms of market share and growth rate of FFS films market throughout the forecast period.
